This thread is so that we can keep all the discussion in one place.

This topic is for a friendly discussion of ideas and suggestions for Fallout 4. We all have opinions about what the next game should have and should not have. Each of us has the right to express that opinion freely. There are points we agree on and points we do not agree on. This means that people are going to disagree with you on some things. Accept that and move on. No need to beat your point so far into the ground that no one wants to look at it any more.


At moderator discretion, threads about specific and distinct topics as they relate to FO4 and the rest of the Fallout series may be acceptable in the Fallout Series forum. General idea/suggestion topics for a future Fallout game will either be closed, or moved to this one.

This thread should be used to discuss items you'd like to see in a future game, gameplay tweaks, quest ideas, things you hope are not in the next game and so on. If you want to discuss major issues, use a separate topic - such as the discussion about adding multi-player or co-op play, which already has a thread. Please search first to see if there is an active/recent thread on a particular topic.

Something to note. Discussions of Child Killing is not allowed on these boards. Don't even bring it up in this thread. It won't happen in any future game from Bethesda, so there is no reason to even discuss it. If you post about this subject, you may be Warned and or Banned from the boards for doing so.

This is also not a thread to discuss current or past Fallout Games, other than to mention an aspect of the game you want to see included, or not included, in a future Fallout game.

I'm staying on this hype train...

Fallout 4, Boston confirmed. Institute will play a part. Bring on Old World Blues level of SCIENCE!

I don't 'believe' this. It could be true, but I'm very unconvinced. It would be great if Bethesda would do something so elaborate as this. Only I think that they could do it better than this. I do however think an announcement at VGX is very possible if not probable, so it makes little difference to me whether this site is real. It is a fun topic, though.

How is Boston confirmed? REmember when Boston was the first rumor? And then there consensus was that those rumors were faked.

*consensus is NOT science nor confirmation in any respects

I seriously hope it doesn't revolve completely around science. I found OWB to get corny at times. For a full game, it would go too over board. I think an entire world being influenced by a single theme is meant more for DLCs, such as Point Lookout having a swamp theme or Honest Hearts having a tribal theme.

The Institute is in Boston.

Stahp it!

Awesome

I'm sure it will just tie in with the MQ with a few side-quests diverging from it as well. Doesn't meant the entire premise of the setting has to revolve around it of course.

Also hoping http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Desmond_Lockheart will play a part.

Just to make this interesting... Is it not possable that BGS is taking FO4 in a new direction and maybe setting this before FO3, maybe a few years after the great war or maybe well after FO3 in a new location,where they can CREATE new FO canon content,new vaults,areas,not previously known about/discussed, just a whole new world,much like how they did with SKYRIM.

what other factions would be located in boston? anyone know?

it's possible, in my story the F.E.V. plays a big part, and it was developed and moved to different places than where fallout games have already been it's almost garunteed to have new vaults and locations, how else could they make a new game

If we're going to run with The Survivor being from before the Great War theory till we get some more solid evidence to say anything otherwise, it would be interesting if we ran into friends that had turned Ghoul and / or their descendants.

Get the "Lady Killer" perk early on, and then it turns out that one night smooth talking the head cheerleader had some lasting consequences...

I find that to sound interesting, I know that the BIBLE only mention 122 vaults,and they say that it is possable for more vaults to be out there and not known about,and since BGS owns FO now anyway they could just through the bible to the fire and just do a whole new game,which would be nice to see. New vaukts,new quests,locations,factions,just a completly new experiance... I loved 3 and NV but it felt quite simillar in most of the game,where as 1 & 2 were different in alot of ways...but only time will tell.

I'm just trying to keep a level head, i don't want to get too far ahead of myself hahaha

Anyone have any experience with setting up websites? Others mentioned the survivor site looks pretty unproffesional, especially when it's a company the size of Bethesda/Zenimax running the thing. I'm no expert so have no idea.

we would have to find out if BGS ever made a countdown for there last games, and see what those sites looked like. We will find out in 19 days if this is legit anyway.

I'm no expert on websites, but, it doesn't appear to be very complexly put together, but then again, why would it need to be. it's a countdown which is fairly simple, with and autoplay music clip on loop. that's all sites that bethesda and zenimax tend t have links and running scripts that change every so often, this is just a teaser site so why make it so complicated?

The "bible" again... Original quote from it:

So everything is open here. It's a rumor and it deals only with the experiments.

The Fallout bible wasn't meant as a lore bible. It was a collection that was made for making Van Buren.

I see your point, there's no need for it to be overly complicated. The age verification and the links to other Fallout sites in the code make me think that a hoaxer wouldn't put that much attention and detail into it, but who knows.

they did the same thing with FO3 prepareforthefuture.com only had a countdown page and the vault-tec logo

I didnt mean for it to sound like I said the bible was LORE only that it meantion 122 vault KNOWN

2299.

That is 20+ years.

Well..at least there is something now. No one knows if it's official though.

I'm more worried about Bethesda writing the story. I hope they leave that to Obsidian.

If it turns out to be a troll page..well played then..I'll be really pissed off.
